I have a TON of sketches at home and I was wondering, does anyone know of cheap portfolios to put them all in? I hear there are portfolios that allow you to add more pages, but I don't have any luck in finding online. Can anyone help me out?

I just searched for some and those are a few, I haven't used them so I'm not sure of the quality, but just look for portfolio binders, or presentation binders.

Depending on the size of your sketch pages, you can make any binder a portfolio if you can get the appropriate sized polypropylene sleeves. Cheapest are office-type, but they generally come in legal(8.5x14) or letter(8.5x11) sized only.

Hey Carla, it has been a while. when are you going to update your sketchbook?
As to your question I can tell you which ones I use, they are cheap but they work pretty good. I believe I bought them off amazon, im not sure but these look to be it.. I bought several of them. The come with sleeves so you can insert your art work into them neatly without tape and what not.

Carla,
I just went to a discussion on book formation the other day. It got me thinking about my portfolio and actually making one that is a piece of art itself, not just a venue to hold my work. Making your own book to hold your work can be super gratifying as well as much more interesting for a prospective employer to look at. It can be cheaper too :)
